Question

I´m trying to install Silverstripe on a Server with the MySQL Connection Details like following:

Hostname localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock

Socket /tmp/mysql5.sock

Entering one of these addresses in the Install Form for Database server brings up following error on submit for localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock:

I couldn't find a database server on 'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock': Connection refused"

or for /tmp/mysql5.sock

I couldn't find a database server on '/tmp/mysql5.sock': php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known

and just localhost shows this error:

I couldn't find a database server on 'localhost': Connecting to 3.22, 3.23 & 4.0 servers is not supported

Thanks,
Florian

Answer 1

Basically, there was something wrong with the server settings:

This is what I added to _config.php:

ini_set('mysqli.default_socket', '/tmp/mysql5.sock');

then the db connection looked like this:

$databaseConfig = array(
    "type" => 'MySQLDatabase',
    "server" => 'localhost',
    "username" => 'myusername',
    "password" => 'mypassword',
    "database" => 'mydb',
    "path" => '/tmp/mysql5.sock',
);
